I always thought Rahul Gandhi was incompetent. Today he demonstrated something uglier: a breathtaking absence of class.
Mock Modi all you want. Attack his policies, his politics, his foreign policy, mercilessly, if you can make the argument. But dragging Giorgia Meloni into a juvenile innuendo and laughing along reduces the Prime Minister of Italy from a serious elected leader to a prop in a cheap boys’ joke.
That isn’t wit. It isn’t political satire. And it certainly isn’t statesmanship.
The most revealing thing about such jokes is not what they say about Modi or Meloni. It is what they reveal about the men making them, their instinctive attitude towards women, their intellectual shallowness and the level to which they are willing to drag political discourse for a few laughs.
India deserves an opposition capable of intellectually dismantling the government when it gets things wrong. Instead, its Leader of Opposition stands on a stage laughing at schoolboy innuendo involving the female Prime Minister of a friendly country.
You cannot manufacture class. Today made that painfully obvious.
@GabbbarSingh At the best, it feels like a comedy show in front of his own family, to woo uncle and aunties of his family. This is not how he will ever win anything.
@Murti_Nain Everything is part of CTC. Its not like employer contribution is out of CTC and now they wont pay. Infact current PF rule is much more friendly for the employee.
@MumbaichaDon If its Because of BJP. What is stopping them from doing this in delhi, mumbai, pune.
